Apparently only 29% of Americans are in favour of teaching Arabic numerals in schools. At least that might explain how Trump got elected.
The depressing part is that judging by what I see on Xitter, NZ may not do *that* much better in such a poll.

The Chinese Communist Party just wants to save the Earth, right?
Even though China is the largest single user of fossil fuels on Earth, for some reason The Energy Foundation China — an NGO dedicated to worrying about carbon emissions — spent nearly $4 million working on reducing US emissions instead of Sino ones. They also spent some undisclosed amount helping the Grantham Research Institute in London last year. So we have donors in a developing country giving generously to the US and UK because the rich first world is too poor to fund their own environmental philanthropy groups, right?
More profits and power for China
China controls the rare metals market, builds the wind turbines and solar panels, and now also the EV’s. Obviously, on a pure self-serving business level, the CCP would be crazy if they weren’t amplifying Green fantasia in the West in order to sabotage the competition. And the idea of undermining energy security and the general industrial power base of the West might also appeal to CCP leaders. And hypothetically, if it did, what would stop it happening — investigative reporting from The ABC or the BBC? As if.

Really? Scientists generally regard the later part of the 19th century as the point at which human activity started influencing the climate. But the new study brings that date forward to the 1830s.

It is commonly observed that people opposed to making any adjustments to mitigate the effects of climate change tend not to understand the difference between the words 'weather' and 'climate.' Thus when its snowing, in a place where it normally snows at that time of year, they will often point at the snow and ask what happened to global warming. Or they might point to a hot day in Canterbury.
Weather can be misleading, people in New York may have had cause to wonder as they can now suffer full blown blizzards. This could lead the 'weathermen' to think the weather is getting colder. What has actually happened is that climate change has caused the weather patterns that previously remained over the Arctic to break up and become mobile. Places that previously didn't normally suffer blizzards now can. That change is life threatening in places where large numbers of people are sleeping rough.

The Christmas spirit was lacking. And in another instance the kid was so pissed off about his presents he shot his mother.

If one cares to research outside the narrow window of history that the mainstream media and “science” selectively use we find New York is no stranger to snow blizzards in fact in 1888 they suffered Americas greatest snow disaster ever to this day!!!
https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/th...-snow-disaster
New York’s Central Park has seen only 4.8 inches of snow during winter 2019-20 as of March 12. With no snow in the forecast, it is possible this winter will end up with the fourth lowest snow total at Central Park in its 152 years of recordkeeping. It’s hard to believe that this week marks the 132nd anniversary of New York’s—and America’s—worst blizzard on record.
Few storms are as iconic as the “Blizzard of ‘88”. It was the deadliest, snowiest, and most unusual winter storm in American annals. No storm of similar magnitude has occurred anywhere in the contiguous United States since. Over 400 perished, including 200 in New York City alone, many literally buried in drifts in downtown Manhattan. On March 13, 1888, the temperature in New York fell to 6°F during the storm—still the coldest temperature ever measured there so late in the season.

If I remember correctly South Australia 1990 or there abouts, the record was broken at 46.4 C.
It took two years really, to get acclimatised to Adel from NZ . you'd get 40-42 on a Summer's day. Overnight it would be 35 all night and then by 0730 in the morning it'd be back to 40.
(A coolish winters day there is 13 or 14 ...... )
I was running and playing squash in those days, (every day !!!!) Fit as a Buck Rat !!!!!![]()
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
You could do well for society to educate the mainstream media and science of that Factas the latest “ hottest day/coldest day, flood, drought, bushfire” is always screamed about in hysteria as evidence of climate change.
Farmers in Australia sold off their livestock early after burning hot droughts forecast by the experts, instead they got biblical rainfall….

And There in lays my mission, using their own lies to expose there lies with a good does of sarcasm.
Anyhow back to topic Diahatsu is going gangbusters to outdo VW in auto scandals.The Toyota owned subsidiary has been faking crash test data for about 30 years. Some of these cars have been sold under Toyota and other big name brands.And not just faking but submitting extra reinforced cars for testing only.
